Draft Wire 3-round mock draft projects guard to Texans

Not many mock drafts project out far enough to get to the Houston Texans’ first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Houston’s picks in the first two rounds belong to the Cleveland Browns, the price for dumping Brock Osweiler and securing the services of MVP candidate Deshaun Watson at quarterback. Most Texans fans will accept that as a pretty good use of those picks, though it does leave for less interest in the draft and scouting side of football.

Maryland guard Damian Prince would help the Texans despite not being a sexy selection. Prince is the Terrapins right tackle but projects to move to guard in the NFL with his wider frame and powerful style. His game echoes of current Texans right guard Jeff Allen when he was in Kansas City, a player seemingly worthy of a lucrative free agent contract. It hasn’t worked out, of course, but Prince could possibly rectify that for Houston.
